Can you add a comment on the ratelimiting here?

This looks like the wrong thing to do for the non-multipath nodes,
which should be able to go straight to the ns.

I'd move this to sysfs.c, and then do a similar trick to say
nvme_send_pr_command to directly use the ns for the non-multipath
nodes, and do what you're doing here for the multipath nodes.

And I duess the _id is not correct now, I'd just drop it.
